An injury has been a blessing in disguise for Arkansas women’s center commitment Destinee Oberg.

She suffered a back injury in June that produced two bulging disks that pressed against nerves in her spine.

“I ended up taking the whole summer off and working out and training to get ready for my high school season,” Oberg said. “I got a trainer, and I’ve been eating better, and I’m down like 30 something pounds.”

“We instantly got along, and I was gong to go there [the University of Washington]. And he moved to Arkansas, and we just kept in contact,” Oberg said. “I was able to come down and visit sometime like last June, and I got to meet all the staff and the players ... it felt like home. It felt natural to be there.”

It's been amazing to see how young some of this year's teams are. DeLasalle started 3 freshmen, Becker started 4 sophs and a freshman, Hopkins is relatively young...it goes on and on. With this abundance of upcoming talent, it's absolutely imperative for Whalen and her staff to make connections early and often. Her success as a coach will depend on it. Many renowned college coaches will be spending lots of time in Minnesota to mine this influx of talent.

And live on channel 45. Right now (Friday eve) the 2A Semifinals are on. All Finals are Saturday.

Taped Quarterfinals still available at the link previously provided.

Update: So far the replays have worked just fine. But I had technical troubles with the streaming. Acts like overloaded server - just hourglasses forever. That’s on an iPhone. Seems to work better over an adequate WiFi.
